In 2008, I realized that I needed to make a career change. I spent the previous 19 years in the restaurant industry, and the long hours were really beginning to take their toll. After applying for a job at Don Ayres, I was immediately impressed with the company’s family-friendly approach to business. Everyone welcomed me to the dealership, something that I pass along to our new employees. In my spare time, I enjoy spending time with my wife, Melissa, and our Weimaraner, Remington Steele (Remy). We also enjoy boating in our vintage Correct Craft. I enjoy helping customers not only at time of purchase, but later on down the line when questions arise on how to use their new vehicle's technology (I'm a bit of a tech geek)!

He is very personable and upbeat, and at the same time professional and extremely knowledgeable about all aspects of the inventory. He took a lot of time to show us in detail how everything worked on our new car. Shannon Hoover, the finance manager we dealt with, was also very friendly and easy to talk to. He explained different options and upgrades if we were interested. Overall, we had a wonderful experience and was treated fairly by everyone. More

Great Service, Great Job! I went to Don Ayres Honda because my family had bought cars from them previously and had nothing but good experiences. I was expecting the same thing, I went to Don Ayres Honda because my family had bought cars from them previously and had nothing but good experiences. I was expecting the same thing, but my expectations were exceeded! I never felt any kind of pressure to be swayed in any direction, It was very self led. Andy was very informative and super laid back. I have always heard horror stories about car dealerships and I am grateful to say this was the best first experience I could have ever had. Thank you, Andy! I will definitely be sticking with the Honda family! More
